[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, that is also an area city planners have been focusing on trying to get development and commerce into for years. But we in Ward 3 also have plenty of room to accommodate more housing and, specifically, more affordable housing.[/quote] Where are the parcels of vacant land in Ward 3? [/quote] You don’t need vacant land to add more housing in Ward 3 if you change the zoning to allow more than one single family house per big lot. You also could build new multiuse buildings that include housing and commerce on lots that currently hold unleashed single-story commercial properties.[/quote] Wouldn’t this fundamentally transform the character of neighborhoods like AU Park and Chevy Chase DC, which have quiet street with mostly single family residential ?[/quote]
